bd
A bash utility to quickly navigate to parent directories by name instead of typing multiple '..'.
What is bd?
bd is a lightweight bash utility that enables quick navigation to parent directories by name. Instead of typing multiple 'cd ../..' commands, users can jump directly to a matching parent directory using partial or full names. It solves the repetitive typing problem when working in deeply nested directory structures.
Developers and system administrators who frequently work in terminal environments with complex directory hierarchies, particularly those using bash on Linux, macOS, or other Unix-like systems.
bd saves time and reduces typing errors by providing a faster, more intuitive way to navigate up directory trees. Its simplicity, partial matching, and integration with other shell commands make it a more efficient alternative to manual 'cd' commands.
